EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 "The New Orleans Saints have re-signed Ladell Betts to help reinforce a running back corps depleted by the loss of Reggie Bush, a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora on Wednesday. Betts, who has spent the past eight seasons with the Washington Redskins, worked out for the Saints earlier this week. Betts rushed for a career-best 1,154 yards in 2006 and was briefly with the Saints during training camp." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81abe3c0/article/veteran-rb-betts-returns-to-help-saints-offset-loss-of-bush?module=HP_headlines ** I saw that someone had mentioned bring Betts back in place of LJ for the skins...too late. Glad to see Betts getting a shot with a successful team finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwack Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 He'll be lucky to get 2 to 3 touches a game. Pierre Thomas is the go to guy and Betts is a has been with a knee problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins55 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 We need Ladell .. I think he would do well in the zone scheme. But unfortunately, he cant block on 3rd down.. ;-( oh well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Maybe, but last year it seemed like the Saints used Running Back By Committee a lot. They used Pierre Thomas between the 20s, Bush as a glorified receiver, and Mike Bell was the goal line back. Betts isn't a goal line back, as demonstrated week 3 in '07 vs. the Giants, and Thomas is a better receiving back than Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekhmet728 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Chris Ivory is still presumably still higher on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well McD5's crush has went to the Big Easy. Looks like no Ladell back in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLredskin Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ivory is injured (was gonna pick him up on my fantasy team) and I predict 8-10 touches for Betts. Payton likes to mix it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 He RE-SIGNED with them after he was cut so I guess he wanted to start a new one. The whole thread was a sign cut sign discussion. If he even bothered to open it he could have seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
